Abstract

Fishery Environment and Management Division of CMFRI is always focussing on
environment concern issues apart from Research on Marine Environment .One
of the major threats the ecosystem faces in the present world is the impact
due to non-degradable wastes especially plastics. Enumerable numbers of
Plastics in the form of carry bags enter in to our houses and it has become an
inevitable item in the daily life. But the improper waste disposal due to poor waste
management facilities available in our society causes the accumulation of these
non-degradable plastic materials on the road sides and open grounds there by
polluting the ecosystem.
